Odin's 2016 Top Ten

1. Khemmis – Hunted They rocked our
world with their debut in 2015 then came right back with an album that was an
absolute game changer. Keep your eyes on this band.

2.Wo Fat – Midnight Cometh Heavy riffs
(what else!) highlight another solid effort from a band that rarely has a
misstep.

3.Oranssi Pazuzu – Varahtelija
Psychedelic goodness that just comes in one wave after another, coupled with
heaviness and just plain weirdness in the best way.

4.Blood Ceremony – The Lord of Misrule
Retro rock, more psychedelia and interesting subject matter made it seem like
the 60's and 70's just left us.

5.Blood Incantation – Starspawn Death
metal may be the jumping off point, but its a fun trip through all the
different layers and esoterica. Death is alive and well in their hands.

6.Satanic Warmaster/Archgoat – Split
Foul, filthy, blasphemic blackness from two Finnish bands that obviously know
how to send their long winter nights.

7.Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard – Y Proffwyd
Dwyll This album came out of nowhere and rocked my world. Or doomed my
world. You know what I mean.

8.Winterfylleth – The Dark Hereafter
Beautiful, hypnotic black metal from a band that always delivers.

9.Year of the Cobra - ...In The Shadows
Below This band made huge strides from their EP to this full length
release, which is a barn burner from first note to last, showcasing a ton of
versatility from just bass and drums.

10.Solinaris
– Deranged Completely unhinged metal that cannot be pigeon holed. Scratches
all the itches you never even knew you had. Deranged indeed.
